Toby Keith's career started as a side gig, where he played in a group called the Easy Money Band while he worked in the oil field. When that industry he declined, he moved on to football for a time then decided to do music. He busked around Nashville with no real luck, but a fan of his managed to slip his demo to a label rep, and he was signed. His debut single was released in 1993, and went to the top of the charts, padding interest for his album. A year later he signed with a different label and released his next album. For his third album he was once again with a new label for its release in 1996. That one was then swallowed by another label, leading him to be with his first one again for his next album in 1997. In 1999 (with another new label) he released another album which peaked his fame with How Do You Like Me Now which was apparently rejected by the old label. He continued to release album after album, and then in 2005 he founded his own label where he released the soundtrack for the movie her was in (Broken Bridges is really good actually, I liked it). This song comes from the album he released in 2011 and I hate the song so much. As of now he has eighteen albums (not including compilation and Christmas) and on top of all that he's delved into business, politic, charity, and acting. Getting into all that will take forever though and this is a music blog so we'll end off here.
Today’s a song that you wish your parents didn’t know the words to. Interesting to answer when you are also asking your parents to do it. Will said Sexy And I Know It by LMFAO, and Sammy picked You’re The One That I Want from Grease. My mom said Karma Chameleon by Culture Club, and my grandma chose Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne.
Peace.
